Love Batgirl 2000 Cause Sometimes Its Just Cassandra Bests Another Foe With Minimal Effort But Can She

Headcanon that Mary walks quietly. Like, she regularly scares the shit out of people and Freddy’s like “we gotta put a bell on her, goddamn”

Not quite Batman level of stealthy, but up there

her ass is not listening

I think it’s humorous when DC villians are all (inconsistently) honorable when it comes to their heroes being injured or getting unmasked, like that could never be the case for Billy Batson. His dynamic with his regular villains kinda hinges on the fact that most of them know he’s 7-14 years old, an orphan, and/or likely homeless depending on the timeline they’re attacking him.

They’re just 1000% down with killing him the moment he’s gets caught flat footed and joking with him they fail because it’s the Same Shit As Normal for Billy. He doesn’t really know any other way of life since because of his uncle’s schemes to steal his inheritance and forcing Billy to steal if he wants to come back home.

It must give other heroes whiplash.

I hope I'm not just a mutual to you, but someone you want to bring up in irl conversation so you have to awkwardly and cryptically say "my friend..." and refuse to elaborate on my origins or the origins of our friendships

You know the Billy Batson brain rot is strong when bully starts auto correcting to Billy

thinking of the differences in cass and bruce regarding their no-kill rules, and how cass’ rule is better in regards to the batman persona and what it stands for. death and bruce have an awful relationship, to say the least. he has gained nothing from death and murder, in fact it affects him so much that all he can do with death is just sit in its presence forever, without ever working through it (he literally refers to death as ‘a curse constantly hanging over him’ i mean that is not the most accepting mindset). with cass though? she can actively process death and even accept that it has happened. she isn’t like bruce, because she uses others dying to make her intense love and empathy stronger, while bruce just uses it to fuel anger and an onslaught of repressed negative emotions (which we all know can only last you so long before your whole body just gives out). i mean, the second bruces parents died, he separated the concept of murder from his life, (even though that is literally impossible, minhkhoa, ra’s, talia, selina, and basically anyone who has been in a meaningful relationship with bruce has pointed this out. i mean even a ghost martha wayne has told bruce there’s no avoiding death, only going through it). however, with cass? she literally was a murderer. one of the many reasons cass vows to never kill is because she actively sees herself in murderers, and thinks they all have the capacity to be redeemed, while bruce barely has an idea how to even process murder, let alone accept it or the people who do it (thinking of how he straight up denied that cass killed anyone, or was even capable of doing it, even with video evidence shown right in front of him, and im not even gonna get into the whole jason todd thing). cassandra could be a better batman simply because she can look death (specifically murders and murderers) dead in the eye and accept it, something that bruce cant even do. basically what im getting at is that, ironically, cass’ backstory of her being a murderer allows her to use the batman persona to its full unfiltered potential, something that even bruce is aware of. anyways here’s my cass should take up the batman mantle propaganda!!

I'm chewing on this like it's a five course meal thank you so much for this analysis there's so much to go through.

You're so right about their different mentalities like Bruce was ultimately a victim and his drive comes from both never wanting anyone else to suffer like that but also never wanting to be a victim again himself. And if does mean that his various complexes around death and crime can sometimes be very harmful to people he should be trying to save! Batman is a symbol and an ideal and no one, not even Bruce can truly live up to it.

Meanwhile Cass views herself as the perpetrator, the responsible party instead of a fellow victim tricked into killing a man. And her projection while again not in anyway perfect is definitely better for those around her than Bruce's because it's full of empathy and a belief for change. The heartbreaking part is that she's no less fucked up over the concept of death imo, she just directs it all inwards. Every life lost is a tragedy that Bruce and Cass both carry on their shoulders. The difference is Bruce views anyone who takes a life as having sacrificed a part of themselves they can ever get back, of ruining their life regardless of circumstances. And we really do get to see frequently in comics how that standard ends up harming innocents even as he tries to do good. Meanwhile Cass... Does actually hold quite similar views but she also stubbornly refuses to believe it's true for anyone else just because she cannot escape it being her own personal truth. They killed but they can change. They killed but they can turn their life around. They felt bad for a second there, I saw them. I'm going to help them because of that.

Part of it definitely comes down to the thematic cohesiveness of Cass's Batgirl run compared to Bruce's... Everything. But ultimately yeah Cass best Batman for multiple reasons and you can fight me on this.

It's really funny that Cass and Steph patrol as a pair. Like, Cass? We all know she doesn't need back up. So everyone just assumes Steph's there BC she's weak.

Steph, trained by Cassandra, Batman, Barbara, and iirc Shiva? Stephanie Brown who Black Canary says reminds her of herself. Stephanie Brown who's the only one Cassandra will listen to at times.

Steph doesn't need Cass for patrol, Cass needs Steph there to keep her grounded to reality and not spiral into self destruction.

He stores the fan in the place where his spleen used to be.

I bet wearing spandex in summer is no fun

Bonus: summer suits!?
